Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

In the 1970s, he went through a period where he tried to shake off what he called "that damn James Bond" by going in for more alternative films. Zardoz (10pm Sky Cinema), written and directed by John Boorman, is a good example. In this unusual sci-fi story set in 2293, the earth has been reduced to a wasteland. Connery plays a "Brutal" who vows vengeance after he is exploited by the more intelligent "Exterminators". The unlikely combination of Charlotte Rampling, soon to be seen as Miss Havisham in the BBC's new reading of Great Expectations, and John Alderton co-star.
